This brings me back when I was a young boy watching my grandfather work in his shoe repair shop in southwest Philadelphia. Everything you pictured in the video he had...The sewing machine, along with the buffers, spools of thread, nails etc. He could take a piece of leather and make you a pair of shoes that would last you 50 years. He was born in November 1900 and learned his trade in Italy. This is unfortunately a dying art. Thank you so much for the fond memories of my grandfather.
